MARINE TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent;

Patented Jan. 12, 1915'.

Application filed June 2, 1914. Serial N 0. 842,480.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MARTIN INGEMAN' and Louis MARTENsoN,-subjects of the King of Sweden, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Marine Tables, of which the following use no means is provided for steadying the action and as a consequence the movement of the top is so rapid at times as to cause dislodgment of articles mounted thereon. It is the object of this invention, therefore, to avoid this diificulty and to provide means i which retards the movement of the table so as to prevent undue rapidity of action.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which forms a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view showing the position of the parts in dotted lines beneath the top. Fig. i

3 is a detail vertical sectional view through one of the regulating devices.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates the supporting legs of which there are four each being provided with a flanged base 2 apertured to receive suitable fastening devices for securing the legs to the floor. The legs are all connected together at their top in a head 3 which is apertured and provided with a ground socket 4 to receive the ball 5 of the pendu lum rod 6. This ball and rod are formed integrally with a spider 7 which is secured to copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, I

the underside of the table top 8, as shown,

and the rod 6 has adjustably mounted thereon a weight 8 of any suitable character.

Secured to the floors in rectangular relation are four sleeves 9 having slidably mounted therein the rodslO provided with a universal joint connection 11 with the table top 8. The rods 10 may be held'rigidly 7 within the sleeves by set screws 12 or may slide therein against the tension of the springs 13 which are connected to the lower ends of the rods and to the bottom of the sleeves or to the floor, as shown in Fig. 3. The sleeves are all provided with flanged bottoms 1 L apertured to receive fastening devices whereby they may be rigidly connected to the floor or deck.

It will be noticed that the springs are so" constructed that movement of the table in one direction will compress certain of the springs and expand the springs upon the opposite side. By movement of the table in the opposite direction the reverse action will take place. ship the table top is held stationary by setting up the screws 12.

, What is claimed is In a table, supporting legs adaptedto be secured to a support,a table top mounted for universal movement on the legs, a pendulum connected to the top and adapted to hold the same in horizontal position irrespective of the position of the support, sleeves carried by the support, members universally con-- nected to the table top and slidably mounted in the sleeves, springs connecting the support and the slidably mounted members, and means for holding the slidably mounted members against movement in the sleeve.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
